Transfer Rumours January '22 Transfer Thread

I'd go one further, he wasn't good enough for a team getting promoted out of the championship. Decent servant when we were mid-table but when Bruce built a promotion side he wasn't good enough for that midfield. He never really reached that level even later in his career. Nice goal against Leeds mind.

 

One he outed was Livermore. Particularly disappointed in that one given how the club stuck by him after his misdemeanours.

 

Great night out in Brum.
Broad Street is mental.

 

One of the best things about the championship is its unpredictability, but I suppose that makes it a revolving door for a lot of players.

Could be comfortable at the level of a mid to lower league team only for that team to be pursuing promotion the next year and you're out of the team without a chance

 

We are staying up for certain.
Can we force ourselves into top.6.
A tall ask but you never know.

 

It's pretty well known that we lost out on Pesic and I suspect a couple of others too.

You don't approach a player on the final day if he was your first choice do you?

 

Wasn't he just about MotM in our best performance that season at Leeds? Or am I misremembering. I know he scored one of the goals.

 

Probably made sure that plans B and C were domestic so they could push them through if others feel through and we needed bodies. Maybe why forss and Walsh are just loans as they weren't first choice?

 

I thought both Cairney and Evans were undersold. You can add Keith 'crab' Andrews to that list too.

 

You can check Pesic's social media for proof of that.

 

and Cooper

 

Honestly mate I think Cooper was overrated.

Controversial I know. But not a premier league player for me.

Obvs he has proved to have more value than we sold him for but I didn't rate him when we did.

 

Same. Very overated

 

How Jimmy never got done for the same I'll never know.

 

Shame there isn’t a buy option on Forss, his finishing looks quality.

 

Wouldn't be in the Premier now if he hadn't gone through the divisions with Leeds.

Won't be for long either if Leeds decide they wanna push top half and sign a decent centre back.

He'd do a job for a championship side lacking a bit of leadership and defensive experience though.

 

A transfer widow designed to keep us in the championship, think the summer window will be the one to "blow a few socks off", overall very happy happy with business done.

 

More than that. Re-inforce what we have with an eye for the future too.

 

I think a really good window, brought players in, in positions which needed strengthening. It would seem that as we didn't bring in a right back then we will be sticking with 3 at the back. Longman on a permanent is really good business, as was Slater. I really like that all the signings improve us, but are sensible and prudent acquisitions, they have brought in better quality but not been reckless. Onwards and upwards.

 

I think that's it. Nothing reckless, nothing crazy, just sensible, solid acquisitions. I'm quite happy with that approach.
